health anxiety and jaundice

[Shdhdj45]

It's actually against forum guidelines to post photos for comment as they don't reproduce well on screen. They appear perfectly white but if you have health concerns then you should see your own doctor for simple tests.

Hi. Not supposed to comment really,but seeing as u asked......they look fine.If you had seen my eyes when I was admitted to hospital, they looked like 2 lemons!!!!.

Consult your gp for clarification.

ah man. Sorry to hear, I’m only 28 not a drinking no smoke anymore. Just a massive worrier! I have a flared rib and I’m sure it’s my liver the physio had a good feel around and said everything feels fine. So I must stop worrying 😂

Well fella, it could be worse, but could also be better!!.......we don't have much choice!!!! My fault though....so only myself to blame. .

If you suffer bad with anxiety, speak with your gp.....they can help you fella.

Don't suffer.

Hi, I would suggest you pop along to your gp, take a partner or good friend for support and be honest with the gp. Health anxiety is a real thing and most gps can help you with that. Hubbie had councelling and medication to help him deal with his especially after his diagnosis, as he had a lot of appointments to attend. He now accepts his illness and doesn't worry so much or take medication for the anxiety. They can also reassure you or do simple blood tests to check.
